Bought a bunch of makeup, tryna cover up my face
I started to skip lunch, stopped eating cake on birthdays
I bought a new prescription to try and stay calm
'Cause there's always something missing
There's always something in the mirror, that I think looks wrong
When pretty isn't pretty enough, what do you do?
And everybody's keeping it up, so you think it's you
I could change up my body and change up my face
I could try every lipstick in every shade
But I'd always feel the same
'Cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyway
You can win the battle, but you'll never win the war
You fix thе things you hated, and you'd still feel so insecure
And I try to ignorе it, but it's everything I see
It's on the poster on the wall, it's in the shitty magazines
It's in my phone, it's in my head, it's in the boys I bring to bed
It's all around, it's all the time, I don't know why I even try
When pretty isn't pretty enough, what do you do?
And everybody's keeping it up, so you think it's you
I could change up my body and change up my face
I could try every lipstick in every shade
But I'd always feel the same
'Cause pretty isn't pretty enough
And I bought all the clothes that they told me to buy
I chased some dumb ideal
My whole fucking life
And none of it matters, and none of it ends
You just feel like shit over and over again
Oh, no, it'll never change
Pretty isn't pretty enough
Everybody's keeping it up
Pretty isn't pretty enough
Pretty isn't pretty enough
